The Giants and Jets are negotiation with a Munich-based insurance and financial services company, Allianz, that had strong ties to Nazi Germany. Among other things, they insured concentration camps and refused to pay on life insurance policies held by Jews, instead turning the money over to the Nazi party.

I don't care how long ago it was or what they have done to put that history behind them, no way the Jets and Giants should go for this. You can't for a second tell me that they are having enough problems selling the naming rights to the new stadium that they have to do this.

Allianz are also the sponsor of Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena stadium. To be honest I wouldn't have a problem if Allianz sponsored the stadium, especially if it turned out as nice as the one in Munich which is held up as one of the finest football stadiums in Europe.

So, the involvement in the Holocaust is cool as long as the stadium is nice.

Compelled involvement in a terrible event that happened 60 years ago is not something that I'm willing to damn a company for forever. There is a lot of money in sports that comes from the suffering of other humans that needs to be criticized long before this in my mind.

Where exactly do you get the "compelled" part?

One of this company's executives was a high-ranking official in Hitler's government. I sure don't see any reason to assume that they were forced into this.

Again, the Jets and Giants are sure to have many options. Why settle for one with this kind of history?
